Just apply Thread:
Thread[{a, b, c} -> {0, 3, x}]

Hello everyone.
Does anyone know a way to transform a rule involving a list into a list
of individual rules, that is to interpret the rule elementwise? For
example, given
{a,b,c} -> {0,3,x}
is there a transformation which will turn this into
{a->0, b->3, c->x}
Thanks for the help!
Ken
